The King of the NBA

Timberwolves rest area.

Everyone surrounded Adelman, Adelman took out the tactical board, looked at the players under him, and said: "Pekovic, Love, Ning, Martin, Brewer, you guys go on. Martin Responsible for defending Westbrook, Brewer is responsible for defending Durant, Ning Yi is responsible for defending Sefolosha, Love and Pekovic remain unchanged."

The coach actually arranged such a lineup, which surprised the generals of the Timberwolves. Rubio, the starting point guard, was excluded. Is this really okay?

Everyone looked at Adelman.

Taking everyone's gaze into his eyes, Adelman understood, drew a few times on the tactical board, and said: "Our biggest threats are Westbrook and Durant. Rubio will suffer a lot against Westbrook. .”

"Oh." Everyone was stunned, but this is defense, what about offense?

Without Rubio, who will organize the offense?

"Ning." Adelman shouted: "On the offensive end, you are still a small forward, but you have an extra task. In addition to playing your original role, you are also responsible for organizing."

"Me?" Ning Yi was surprised.

The generals of the Timberwolves were also surprised, let Ning Yi be in charge of the organization, is this really reliable?

Adelman continued: "Yes, you are responsible for the organization, as a point forward. Your few assists in front are very good. You have this talent and ability. I believe in you." After finishing speaking, Adelman Man waved his hand and said, "That's it, Martin and Ning, you two can be random if you advance in the backcourt. Martin, you have to show your scoring ability, and the opponent will definitely defend against Love. We need your score."

"Also, you have to watch out for Westbrook."

"Brewer, you are responsible for defending Durant. This is very important. Even if you don't score, as long as you can restrain Durant, it will be considered a great achievement."

"Love, you are the core of the team and our most important firepower. I won't say much. You know what to do. Whether we can win or not depends on these four minutes."

"Pekovic, pay attention to protecting the offensive rebounds, and cooperate with Love more inside. You have a certain advantage in the 5th position, give me a little aggressiveness."

In the end, Adelman looked at Ning Yi, thought for a while, and said: "Ning, I said that I will not restrict you too much, but today is different. Such a lineup is a last resort, and it is also a risk, but I I believe you can do well. I just want to tell you that your first task is to organize, and if there is a chance to shoot, you can also shoot."

Ning Yi raised his brows, knowing in his heart that the coach meant for him not to advance aggressively. Love and Martin are the scoring points. He doesn't need to pursue scoring unless he has a chance to make a mid-range shot.

To put it bluntly, Adelman's request to Ning Yi is to try his best to organize well. If he wants to make a move, it must be a good enough opportunity and pursue high efficiency.

After the arrangement was completed, Adelman put away the tactical board, looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "The outcome depends on one move. To win this game, we must let everyone know that we can defeat the Thunder!"

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Not far away, Coach Brooks is also making arrangements.

For the Thunder, the offensive end mainly relies on Durant and Westbrook, as long as they are open, the problem is not big. On the defensive end, it is mainly against Love. After all, it is not easy for Ibaka to guard Love after Ibaka is behind the Thunder at the point of power forward.

"That's it." Coach Brooks cheered up the crowd after finishing the arrangement, and roared: "This is our home court, win this game for me."

"yes."

At this time, the whistle also sounded.

The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the field.

Seeing the lineup of the Timberwolves, the fans couldn't help being stunned. What's the situation, Rubio didn't play, but Ning Yi, so what is Brewer's position?

Power forward, or small forward?

It doesn't seem to be the case. The power forward has Love, and the small forward has Ning Yi. What can Brewer, a 208 cm guy, do on the court? Can he replace Rubio and let the small forward play the organization?

People also guessed a bit, but it was not Breuer who replaced Rubio, but Ning Yi.

In fact, Adelman's formation was really weird. Even Coach Brooks couldn't help frowning and muttering to himself, "What is Adelman doing?"

In the last four minutes or so, the Thunder attacked.

Back from the timeout this time, the Thunder are on the starting lineup, Perkins, Ibaka, Durant, Sefoloza, Westbrook.

Westbrook advanced with the ball, and when he got to the frontcourt, he saw Martin rushing towards him. He was taken aback and slowed down his tempo.

It took a few seconds before Westbrook started to attack. He made a pick-and-roll with Ibaka and tried to break through, but Martin was experienced and got stuck in the position first, allowing Westbrook to return without success.

This time he failed to break through, and Westbrook was not reluctant, and passed the ball to Sefolosha. Before Ning Yi could pounce, Sefolosha passed the ball first.

With Westbrook and Durant on the court, Sefolosha is basically just a display, unless he encounters a good opportunity, otherwise he will not play.

It is also because of this that Adelman sent such a lineup to let Ning Yi defend Sefoloza. In this way, Ning Yi's disadvantage on the defensive end is not so obvious.

Durant took the ball, played decisively in singles, and made a breakthrough fake, but actually changed direction, with a large arc and large steps, and he missed Brewer by half a body in one step.

In fact, Brewer's defense against Durant is not bad in terms of height.

In addition to height, other speed and reaction ability, these Brewers are all at a disadvantage. The previous game has proved that it is difficult for him to guard Durant, but he is better than Ning Yi.

Weak defense is Ning Yi's pain!

"Shua!"

One step past Brewer, Durant jumped up and easily scored a jumper.

"KD is still great."

"Stable enough."

In the auditorium, the Thunder fans laughed.

This is a super player, the more critical they are, the more they can score.

The Timberwolves counterattacked, Martin pushed forward, and passed to Ning Yi after reaching the frontcourt. Ning Yi dribbled the ball while looking at the situation on the court. Seeing Brewer and Love crossing positions, they pulled the defender away. Ning Yi's eyes As soon as the light came on, he hugged the ball and made a gesture to pass it to Love. The Thunder players reacted quickly and rushed towards Love.

But at this moment, Ning Yi twisted his hand, changed the direction of the pass, and went straight to the inside
